BT HARRY 3. BROWN.
OREGONIAN SEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. July 21. All Is not well tn ths
Bull Moose party. As at Chicago, there
are too many managers, too many lead
ers, and too many schemes. The big
bull moose had Ideas of his own as to
how his campaign should be run. but
those ideas do not entirely coincide
with the ideas of the men who are to
furnish the sinews for carrying- on the
campaign. Therefore, trouble is brew
ing. One great difficulty in the bull moose
camp is that there are too many plu
tocrats and political bosses In evidence.
Plutocrats and bosses do not play poli
tics as do those who are contending
for the "rights of the people." When
the bosses and plutocrats rule, the peo
ple do not rule, and what is bothering
the big bull moose Just now is to find
some way by which the plutocrats and
bosses can play politics in a way to
make it appear they are Hghting for
"the people," and not for special In
terests. Fllna and Manner Oppose Dl-.on.
Trouble first started In the bull
moose camp when Senator Dixon was
chosen as campaign manager. Dixon
does not suit Boss Flinn. of Pennsyl
vania, nor Is be acceptable to Frank
-V. Munsey. Fllnn objects to DIxou
because he himself wants to manage
the campaign, and Munsey objects be
.cauoe Dixon has' no money to con
tribute. The Flinn-Munsey Idea Is that
the campaign should be placed in the
hands of a man of wealth, and Fllnn
would be acceptable to Munsey. .
Immediately after Munsey announced
his support of Flinn for campaign man
sgcr. Flinn laid out a plan of cam
paign where he reckoned something
?ould be accomplished In November.
And. strange to say. the Fllnn proposal
met with general approval on the part
of anti-Roosevelt candidates for Con
tress, for State Legislatures and for
sther lesser Jobs. But the Fllnn Idea
lid not appeal to Colonel Roosevelt,
and the Colonel did not hesitate to ex
press his disapproval. Then Flinn got
lore.
The Flinn idea was one that strongly
ippealed to the average Republican,
-cgardless of faction, as it was in
tended to poll the full Republican vote
for all lesser candidates In every state,
dividing the vote only on the head of
Ihe ticket. Of course, the plan was
not feasible in all states, for in some
tates the law prohibits placing the
name of any candidate on more than
one ticket- But there are other states
where a candidate, if he desires and
Is able, may have his name on every
tiiket in the field, and it was in those
slates, and especially in Pennsylvania
and Maryland, that Fllnn proposed to
work his little scheme.
Files Propose Comproaalae.
Of course, the Fllnn proposition was.
In a way. a compromise with the Taft
Republicans. It wss a combination on
all of the ticket save the head, and
even there left It for the voters to de
termine whether the Presidential elec
tors from a particular state should sup
port Taft or Roosevelt. For instance,
Flinn proposed in Pennsylvania that
the Roosevelt ticket should be identi
cal with the Taft ticket, save that It
would carry at Its head the names of
Roosevelt nd his running mate, yet to
be chosen, instead of the names of
Taft and Sherman. The candidates for
Presidential electors, for Congress, .for
the State Legislature and for all state
offices would be identical on both
tickets. This, in a state like I'ennsyl
vania. would guarantee the election of
the entire state Republican ticket, in
cluding Representatives in Congress
and Presidential electors, and th(se
electors would be bound by the result
of the election. If there were mor"e
Roosevelt than Taft tickets voted, the
electors would support Roosevelt. butV
if the Taft ballots were in the malor
ity, the Pennsylvania electors would
support Taft.
Colonel Roosevelt kicked over the
traces when this plan waa called, to
his attention. It savored too much of
a compromise with the Republican
party, he declared, and he would have
none of it. He declared he waa form
ing an absolutely new party and would
not listen to any plan of compromise.
So the fat went into the fire, and the
hopes of not a few candidates for Con
gress dwindled when the Flinn pro
posal was cast aside.
A surprisingly large number of Re
publican Representatives In Congress
wanted to have the Fllnn Idea fol
lowed, for they reckoned that if tbey
could have the support of the Roose-

100 feet to the deck while attempting
to descend and broke his neck, dying
instantly. His father, W. L. Bullock,
of Corsicana, Texas, has been informed
of the occurrence.
Bullock was with his roommate,
Midshipman . Alston, also from Texas,
when the fatal accident took place.
He left Bancroft Hall at half past 3
and the accident took place within ten
minutes. He reached the highest point
of the mainmast without serious diffi
culty and transfixed his cap on the
spike at the top. In attempting to de
scend Bullock tried to slide down a
single rope and his hands wer evi
dently burned by the rapid descent.
He attempted to grab the mast or other
ropes and lost his hold completely.

FEDERATION SPLIT LOOMS

CRIPPLE CREEK. Colo., July 21.
That if Thomas Campbell, or uutte.
Mont., is expelled from the Western
Federation of Miners he will take with
him all the members of the Industrial
Workers of the "World faction is the
generally expressed belief of delegates
to the 20th annual convention or tnc
federation. Tomorrow at victor the
convention will continue its executive
hearing of the fight between Camp
bell and President Moyer.
While members refuse to commit
themselves, the sentiment seems to be
in favor of Moyer. The split in the
federation may have momentous re
sults. If the Industrial Workers of
the World . members withdraw it is
thought they will seek to form a rival
organization to the federation.
Campbell charges that Moyer and
other officers of the federation are not
working In the Interests of the organ
ization. Counter charges of a similar
nature are made by Moyer.

NEW YORK, July 21. (Special.)
Deputy Police Commissioner Dougherty
announced early tonight tnat tnree
more men had been arrested for com
plicity in the murder of Herman Rosen
thal and that three others naa oeen
arrested as Important witnesses. He
refused at the time to give any names,
but it was learned later that the men
arrested as principals were Samuel
Paul, "Brldgey" Weber and "Jack"
Sullivan, "king of the newsboys," all
of whom had been under suspicion for
several days. When asked if Police
Lieutenant Becker was one of the men
held as a witness, Mr. Dougherty an
swered: "We will not go into that
now."
"Big Jack" Zellg, sought by the po
lice in their efforts to clear up the
murder of Rosenthal, was reported to
day to be in Far Rockaway and. not
trying hard to keep under cover. He
is expected to surrender tomorrow and
declare he had no connection with the
hiring of the actual murderers. That
they were known as members of the
band whose leadership is credited to
Zelig will not be sufficient to sub

Spy la Missing.
From the underworld sources which
supplied the- information of Zelig's
whereabouts comes the story that
Tin cm Frank" was the spy who
watched Rosenthal and Informed the
men before his murder that the gamb
ler was in the Metropole. "Dago
Frank" is missing, as is his intimate
associate, "Gib the Blood."
The coercion of the four men who
killed Rosenthal into taking that mur
derous work is traced to their anxiety
of making friends again with Zelig,
whom they had offended. Zelig is
credited with a raid on his own ac
count upon several of the stuss games
of Harlem a few weeks ago when he
was in need of cash. He was success
ful. It is charged, but following the

SPOKANE. Wash.. July 21. (Spe

telephone flirtations In Spokane by the
officials of the Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph Company, at least so far as
the operators themselves are concerned.
This is in accordance" with a similar
rule in effect in other cities.
According to an official of the com
pany today should some gay member
of the masculine sex decide to try to
press hi" attentions on any of the op

ed to dampen the enthusiasm of the
would-be flirter.
The company claim's that in this
manner much time is saved and the ef
ficiency of the service is greatly in
creased. The aim of the rule is to put to rout
all fllrters and this is one of the prin
ciples outlined to the beginners in the

MONTESANO, Wash., July 21.
(Special.) When the Red Army moves
at daybreak ire the morning to attempt
the tactical capture of Seattle In the
mimic war now declared, two Oregon
battalions will form the advance guard
of the brigade.
This was announced today from
headquarters and caused enthusiasm
in the Oregon camp near Montesano.
for while the duty will tax the en
durance of the men, the honor of lead
ing the way in the first day of the
advance is a signal one and the detail
reflects credit upon the Oregon sol
diers. Not only will the advance force be
charged with the security of the main
body throughout the day, but at night
while the brigade sleeps, the two bat
talions must establish and maintain
outposts. For 24 hours the safety of
the Red army will Test in the hands
of the Oregon guardsmen, who will
conduct all reconnolssance and patrols.
It is not believed that contact with
the enemy will be had for several days,
but at the same time nothing definite
Is known, and the troops will pro
ceed as if expecting an encounter at
any moment.
Keeewttle Only Provided.
The advance will be commanded by
Lieutenant-Colonel John L. May. vet
eran field officer of the regiment. The
position of the Third Oregon not re
quired for the advance guard will
head the marching column In com
mand of Colonel John M. Poorman, of
Woodburn.
Did actual warfare exist the troops
in camp here could barely look for
ward to a more vigorous campaign
than that which is to begin at day
break. Only actual necessities In the
way of food and shelter are provided.
When the Oregon troops received field
rations this afternoon for the next two
days, it was not a tempting array of
food, bacon and hard bread being the
main articles of subsistence. And there
was only enough of this for the actual -needs
of the men, so that hungry
guardsmen will take up a couple of
notches in their belts for dessert while
on the march toward Seattle.
Except for battalion drill In the fore
noon, the Oregon troops spept a quiet
Sunday in camp awaiting the hour for
taking the field. The men were given
this respite in order that they might
accustom themselves to sudden re
moval from civilised accessories, such
as beds, chairs and comfortable quar
tm The officers occupied themselves
largely In the studying of military
maps of the maneuver district.
Railroads Are "Seised."
Tnmnrronr'H advance will proceed
along the Chehalis River Valley, with
Centralla as an objective. Theoreti
cally the country will be pacified by
the Invading army, railroads being
seised, supplies of all kinds taken and
railroad communication Interrupted
south of Centralla. The force repre-
.nt9 a brleade ahead of a great Item
army that has been landed at Grays
Harbor by a hostile nation, which has
gained command of the Pacific.
The campaign Is one designed to give
the most practical order of field expe
rience to officers and men. It will af
ford especially valuable experience for
the commanders of larger units, in
the force which the Oregon troops will
precede in the field tomorrow are the
Tw.ntv-flfth United States Infantry;
Second Idaho Infantry; two troops
